2.  AKEN  (DAVID).  Pioneers  of  the  Black  Hills,  or,  Gordon's 
Stockade  Party  of  1874.  Plates.  151  pp.,  12mo,  original  pictorial 
wrappers.  N.  p.  [Milwaukee],  n.  d.  and  no  copyright 

The  only  narrative  of  the  little-known  Expedition  organized  by  Charles 
Collins,  Editor  of  the  Sioux  City  Times,  in  1874,  and  whose  27  adventurous 
members  penetrated  the  Black  Hills  in  that  year,  in  violation  of  Gen- 
eral Sheridan's  orders;  who  built  a  Stockade  in  French  Creek  Valley, 
near  Harney's  Peak;  explored  the  Country;  discovered  gold;  and  were 
finally  reached  and  expelled  by  Government  troops  under  Captain  Mix. 
The  news  they  brought  back,  in  1875,  started  the  famous  Black  Hills 
Gold  Rush,  and  resulted  in  the  founding  of  Deadwood  and  the  opening 
of  Dakota  Territory  in  advance  of  the  Government's  desires.  Aken, 
the  author,  was  a  member  of  the  Expedition. 

3.  [ALAMAN  (LUCAS).]  Memoria  que  el  Secretario  de  Es- 
tado  y  del  Despacho  de  Relaciones  Esteriores  e  Interiores.  3  fold- 
ing charts.    60  pp.,  8vo,  sewn.  Mexico,  1823 

One  of  the  earliest  accounts  of  California  following  the  Spanish 
overthrow.  It  embraces  the  condition  of  the  country,  the  missions, 
present  state  and  probable  future  greatness  of  the  region,  etc.  The 
Appendix  is  given  over  to  an  account  of  Padre  Caballero 's  journey  across 
the  deserts  and  among  the  Indians;  and  to  the  explorations  for  an 
Overland  Route  to  California  as  performed  by  Captain  Romero.

Guerra  entre  Mexico  y  los  Estados-Unidos.    14  plates  and  13  folding 

maps.    8vo,  boards  and  roan.  Mexico,  1848 

Both    Sabin    and    Bcreiidt    describe    this   Avork   as   "Extremely   Rare." 

The  criticism  of  Gen.  Santa  Anna  so  angered  the  Mexican  patriot,  that 

he  imprisoned  the  authors,  and  ordered  all  copies  of  the  book  destroyed. 

Larned   claims  it  to  be  the  "best   source   on  the  conduct  of  the  War." 

The    account    of    the    campaigns    in    California    differs    vastly    from    the 

American  reports.     See  No.  929  for  a  translation. 


ALDRICH'S  OVERLAND  TO  CALIFORNIA.     1851 
ONE  OF  TWO  KNOWN  COPIES 

7.  ALDRICH  (LORENZO  D.).  A  Journal  of  the  Overland 
Route  to  California  by  Lorenzo  D.  Aldrich,  Late  of  Lansingburgh, 
Rensselaer  Co.,  N.  Y.     46  pp.,  8vo,  sewn.     Lansingburgh,  N.  Y. 

Alexr.  Kirkpatrick,  Printer:  265  State  Street.  1851 
Left  Albany  April  18th,  Fort  Smith  May  23rd,  Santa  Fe  July  31st., 
and  then  via  Eio  Grande  Mountains,  Santa  Cruz,  Tucson,  and  the  Gila, 
arriving  at  San  Diego  December  3rd.  The  only  other  copy  known  is  in  the 
library  of  Henry  R.  Wagner  and  the  collation  is  the  same  as  this.  Every 
indication  is  that  the  pamphlet  is  complete.  Mr.  Wagner  seems  to  be 
in  error,  as  an  extra  leaf  inserted  accounts  for  the  pagination.  The 
narrative  of  the  expedition  is  complete  and  ends  on  p.  44 — the  return  or 
Homeward  Route  ends  abruptly  at  the  Bay  of  Panama. 

Without  doubt  one  of  the  most  important  of  original  journals. 
[see  illustration] 

8.  ALLA  (OGAL).     Blue  Eye:  A  Story  of  the  People  of  the 

Plains.      (Reminiscences  of  Life  and  Adventure  on  the  Western 

Plains  in  the  Sixties.)     8vo,  cloth.  Portland,  1905 

An  extremely  interesting  narrative,  with  much  on  the  Sioux  and 
Cheyennes. 

9.  ALLEN  (A.  J.).  Ten  Years  in  Oregon.  Travels  and  Adven- 
tures of  Doctor  E.  White  and  Lady,  west  of  the  Rocky  Mountains ;

and  Residing  in  the  Territory,  etc.     12mo,  sheep   (hinges  weak).

Game,  or,  Twenty  Years  in  the  Rocky  Mountains.  Portrait  and  28 
full-page  interesting  plates.    8vo,  half  roan.  Chicago,  1903 

The  life  story  of  "Montana  Allen,"  typical  old-time  Westerner  and 
one  of  the  founders  of  Billings.  His  narrative  was  the  result  of  upwards 
of  a  quarter  century  of  loving  participation  in  the  hunt  of  both  game 
and  Indians.  It  preserves  the  record  of  a  true  pioneer,  who  besides  being 
a  trusted  leader  in  Plains  immigration,  filled  in  odd  moments  with  the 
occupations  of  express  messenger,  stockraiser,  blacksmith,  dentist,  crack 
rifle  shot  and  sure-fire  Indian  Fighter.

Original  Edition.  No  copy  has  appeared  in  the  Auction  room.  Raines 
devotes  nearly  a  page  of  his  bibliography  to  this  work,  but  was  unaware 
of  the  folding  tables  and  4  pp.  conclusion.  The  Noticia  was  prepared 
by  Almonte  after  extensive  travel  and  observation  in  Texas  in  the  year 
1834,  and  forms,  says  Kennedy,  the  proudest  testimonial  to  the  labors  of 
those  fearless  and  persevering  spirits  who  first  rendered  Ihe  golden  glade 
of  Texas  tributary  to  the  enjoyment  of  civilized  man.

Smith   locates   only   one   copy   on   the   coast,    namely   in   the   Provincial 

Library   of    British    Columbia.      Maldonado    came   from   either    Spain   or 

Portugal,  and  here  relates  his  voyage  through  the  Polar  Sea  to  the  West 

Coast  of  America,  and  thence  southward  as  far  as  the  55th  degree.

policy  of  territorial  acquisition;  California  Affairs;  the  Filibustering

so  as  to  include  all  of  modern  Arizona  south  of  the  Gila.  Bancroft  (Vol.

to  locate  a  single  copy  of  the  original,  as  above.

consisting  of  5  vols.,  royal  8vo,  half  russia,  bindings  slightly  rubbed. 
Edinburgh,  1831-9. 

This  set  is  one  of  the  best  ever  offered,  the  plates  with  few  excep- 
tions being  in  perfect  state  of  preservation,  brilliant  in  coloring,  and 
showing  in  all  cases  but  one,  the  full  inscription,  as  well  as  the  artist 's  and 
engraver 's  names.  In  all  instances  the  present  copy  has  the.  full  colored 
figures  intact,  and  in  all  cases  but  one  the  plates  show  some  margin,  the 
exception  being  Plate  VI — "Wild  Turkey."  This  plate  has  the  inscrip- 
tion cut  off,  but  the  figure  is  intact,  and  a  fine  impression. 

The  following  slight  defects  in  this  copy  are  here  noted — Title-pages 
have  been  backed  with  heavy  paper,  a  slight  tear  in  that  of  the  first  title 
having  been  first  skilfully  repaired;  15  of  the  plates  have  a  very  small 
tear  in  lower  margins  not  extending  into  the  printed  portion,  and  in  each 
case  the  tear  has  been  repaired;  some  ten  plates  have  been  strengthened 
by  rebacking  the  same  with  heavy  paper,  after  first  flattening  out  the 
surface;  about  eight  plates  show  slight  creases  in  margins;  one  plate  has 
been  repaired  near  plate-mark  showing  small  tear ;  three  plates  show 
slight  rubbing  on  parts  of  surface ;  otherwise  all  plates  are  in  fine  con- 
dition, brilliant  in  coloring,  and  free  from  spots.

AUSTIN'S  "ASUNTOS  DE  TEJAS,"  1835.     ONE  OF  TWO 
KNOWN  COPIES 

32.  AUSTIN  (STEPHEN  F.).  Esposicion  al  Publico  sobre  los 
Asuntos  de  Tejas.  Por  el.  C.  Estevan  F.  Austin.  32  pp.,  8vo, 
sewn.  Megico :  Cornelio  C.  Sebring,  1835 

This  Explanatory  Address  on  the  Affairs  of  Texas  was  written  by 
Austin  while  a  prisoner  in  Mexico,  in  vindication  of  himself  and  the 
Texans  from  the  charge  of  disloyalty  to  the  Supreme  Government.  Raines 
states  that  it  has  never  been  translated,  and  that  there  is  perhaps  "only 
one  copy  in  aJl  Texas,  that  in  the  Bryan  Collection."  Austin's  proper 
place  in  history  is  with  the  founders  of  colonies  and  builders  of  empire. 
All  that  Penn  did  on  the  Delaware,  or  Oglethorpe  on  the  Savannah,  Austin 
did  on  the  Gulf,  and  more;  standing  by  his  colonists,  sharing  their 
privations,  breasting  with  them  the  storm  of  battle,  and  laying  down 
his  life  among  them,  leaving  his  ashes  on  the  banks  of  the  Brazos,  in 
the  midst  of  the  people  he  loved  so  well.  The  above  work  is  the  only 
volume  actually  written  and  published  by  the  Father  of  Texas,  and  must 
in  consequence  rank  as  one  of  the  great  cornerstones  of  Texiana.

This  volume  is  the  earliest  historical  work  on  tiie  church  of  Ken- 
tucky to  be  printed  in  the  state.  Besides  its  importance  as  a  record  of 
this  kind,  its  value  to  the  student  of  early  Kentucky  history  is  very  great.

1816  occupy  upwards  of  100  pages;  which  is  followed  by  biographical

Sutter 's  Fort ;  Sonoma ;  Monterey  ;  Yerba  Buena,  and  elsewhere, 
1845-62.     [New  York:  The  De  Vinne  Press,  1921] 

Of  this  monumental  work  twenty  coi^ies  were  printed,  one  of  which  ac- 
companied the  manuscripts  herein  contained  in  transcript,  and  which 
fetched  $8,450.00  iia  these  rooms  in  1921.  The  transcripts  -of  the  161 
documents  are  bound  in  their  proper  places  in  relation  to  the  printed 
text;  each  group  (of  which  there  are  38)  is  preceded  by  an  especially 
printed  title-page  and  historical  commentary  relating  to  it,  together  with 
a  main  commentary,  general  title  and  detailed  catalogue  and  description 
of  the  collection  in  its  entirety. 

The  Fort  Sutter  Papers  were  the  subject  of  unavailing  search  for  more 
than  half  a  century.  Bancroft,  whose  exhaustive  investigations  yielded 
many  other  priceless  treasures,  fi,nally  abandoned  hope  of  their  unearth- 
ing, and  admitted  in  his  volumes  that  a  veil  of  mystery  shrouded  the 

EVENTS  OP  1846  AND  1847  IN  THE  SACRAMENTO  VALLEY,  AND  THAT  VERY 
LITTLE  WAS  KNOWN  OF  AFFAIRS  AT  SUTTER  's  FORT  DURING  KeRN  'S  ADMINIS- 
TRATION   AS    COMMANDER   THERE. 

An  examination  of  the  texts  as  herein  assembled  fully  bears  out 
Bancroft 's  estimate  of  their  consequence,  and  their  revelation  of  the 
Fremont-Kearny-Kern  rupture  indicates  the  probable  cause  of  their  dis- 
appearance in  1847. 

The  collection  now  brought  together  in  its  completeness  for  historical 
study  contains  carefully  typed  transcripts  of  all  the  original  papers  and

documents,  among  which  we  mention:  Castro's  Proclamation  of  March  8, 
1846;  Hardy's  bill  rendered  for  the  transportation  of  the  Sonoma  Cap- 
tives to  Sutter 's  Fort  and  other  Bear  Flag  services ;  Commodore  Sloat  's 
Proclamation  of  Annexation;  the  appeal  for  freedom  addressed  to  Kern  by 
the  Sonoma  Captives ;  Kern 's  correspondence  with  Montgomery  concern- 
ing them,  and  Fremont 's  instructions  to  him  about  them ;  the'  letters  of 
Missroon;  Eevere 's  "Call  all  Americans  to  arms"  letter;  Edwin  Bryant's, 
proposal  for  raising  men  to  recapture  Los  Angeles;  Montgomery's  let- 
ters and  orders  to  Kern;  Kern's  drafts  of  replies  to  Montgomery; 
Pickett's  letters  in  denunciation  of  the  administration  of  Hull  and 
Mervine;  Kern's  records  of  garrison  affairs;  the  Fort  Sutter  muster  rolls 
and  pay  rolls;  the  appeal  for  help  sent  to  the  Fort  by  the  settlers  on 
Bear  Creek;  William  Richardson's  assertion  of  neutrality;  Kern's  report 
of  his  campaign  against  the  Indians;  Fallon's  report  from  Bear  Creek; 
a  collection  of  hitherto  unknown  material  relating  to  the  rescue  of  the 
Donner  Party;  the  letters  of  McKinstry;  of  Snyder;  of  Watmough;  of 
Gillespie;  Kern's  contract  establishing  the  first  postal  service  in  California 
in  behalf  of  the  United  States ;  a  document  by  Semple  establishing  Fre- 
mont's  leadership  of  the  Bear  Flag  activities  before  his  elevation  to  that 
position  by  the  Sonoma  Convention,  and  a  mass  of  other  documents 
whose  existence  has  previously  been  unknown. 

In  addition,  there  is  also  Eichard  Kern's  report  to  Senator  Gwin  on 
overland  railway  routes,  and  a  remarkable  assemblage  of  papers  dealing 
with  the  disaster  to  Fremont's  Fourth  Expedition  (of  which  both  Edward 
and  Eichard  Kern  Avere  members)  in  the  New  Mexican  Mountains  during 
the  winter  of  1848 ;  the  rupture  between  Fremont  and  the  Kerns  due  to- 
that  event;  Fremont's  unjustified  attempt  to  place  the  blame  for  the 
catastrophe  on  "Old  Bill"  Williams;  the  deaths  of  Williams  and  Dr. 
Benjamin  Kern;  the  loss  of  the  Fort  Sutter  records  (including  these 
papers)  during  the  fatal  winter  retreat  from  the  New  Mexican  Moun- 
tains; and  the  long  search  afterward  made  in  an  endeavor  to  recover 
the  manuscripts. 

Any  attempt  to  emphasize  the  extraordinary  nature,  importance  and 
historical  value  of  these  writings  would  be  needless.  It  may  safely  be 
said  that  they  are  essential  in  any  study  or  understanding  of  the  Western 
movement  and  Conquest  of  California. 

In  its  physical  character  the  volume  has  seldom  been  equalled  as  a 
splendid  example  of  modern  printing  and  bookmaking. 


EDWARD  KERN'S  ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  ACCOUNT 
OF  THE  DISASTER  TO  THE  DONNER  PARTY. 
WRITTEN  AT  SUTTER'S  FORT  TO  COM- 
MANDER HILL  AT  SAN  FRANCISCO 

118a.  CALIFORNIA.  Kern  (Edward  M.).  Original  Auto- 
graph Manuscript  letter  announcing  the  disaster  to  the  Donner 
Party,  giving  details  of  the  cannibalism  and  other  horrors  attend- 
ing it ;  and  discussing  the  necessity  of  and  preparations  for  the 
rescue  of  the  survivors.  Signed  "Kern."  4  pp.,  folio. 
^  [Sutter's  Fort,  March,  1847] 

The  letter  deals  entirely  Avith  the  most  dreadful  catastrophe  in  the 
annals  of  Overland  migration.  It  begins,  "Sir",  and  is  obviously  writ- 
ten to  Hull,  who  had  superseded  Montgomery,  although  the  paper  is  en- 
dorsed on  back,  "Important  to  Montgomery."  Kern  explains  that  he 
has  no  authority  to  incur  the  heavy  expense  demanded  l)y  the  situation, 
and  "therefore  lays  the  case  before  you."  He  describes  tiie  awful  plight 
of  the  emigrants;  tells  of  their  drawing  of  lots  to  see  who  should  die; 
their  living  on  the  dead  bodies;  says  Sutter  has  done  all  he  could;  tries 
to  express  his  own  sympathy;  and  declares  that  the  tragedy  is  so 
unlieard  of  that  "it  has  the  appearance  of  romance."  .  .  .  "Of  the 
16  who  started,  but  seven  have  arrived — among  the  nine  left,  seven  were 

23 


eaten  .  .  .  There  are  60  souls  remaining  back,  the  major  part  of 
which  are  women. ' '  The  report  covers  four  closely  written  folio  pages 
and  narrates  in  gruesome  detail  (and  for  the  first  time)  the  events  and 
hapi^enings  of  what  has  come  to  be  known  as  the  Donner  Tragedy.

An  essential  Document,  being  so  far  as  known  the  only  existing  paper 

upon  which  both  Kern  and   Sutter  affixed  their  signatures  and  acted  in 

concert.     It  is  of  especial  significance  in  view  of  the  light  it  throws  on  the 

question  as  to  who  was  actually  in  command  at  Sutter's  Fort;  the  paper 

is  entirely  in  Kern 's  handwriting  and  is  signed  by  him  as  Commander  of 

the   Sacramento   District.     Sutter,   shorn   of  all  title,   signs  merely  as  an 

individual.

56  pp.,  sewn.  New  York,  1849 

A  basically  important  item  of  California.  The  author  of  this  address 
became  the  first  Governor  of  California,  and  is  also  well  known  for 
his  ' '  Recollections  of  a  Pioneer. ' '  The  above  tract  is  a  vigorous  attack 
on  the  Federal  Government,  and  its  policies  and  treatment  of  California 
and  New  Mexico,  since  their  conquest  and  annexation ;  he  reviews  the 
pledges — solemn  and  official — made  to  the  people  by  Sloat,  Stockton  and 
Kearney  in  1846,  and  then  proceeds  to  hold  up  to  the  light  of  day  the 
manner  in  which  these  various  pledges  have  been  (?)  redeemed  by  the 
Government.

Wagner  in  California   Imprints,  No.    138,   states  that  the  publication 

was  a  monthly,  but  fails  to  give  its  Editors.  As  the  paper  was  a  weekly 

26 


jt   seems  probably   the   case   that    Mr.  Wagner  was   unable   to  locate   any 
number  to  make  his  notation  from,  and  writes  from  a  prior  collation. 

The  second  number  is  printed  on  wrapping  paper,  thus  proving  a 
continued  shortage  of  paper  in  the  new  metropolis,  since  Ewer,  the  year

Wagner,  in  California  Imprints  No.  33,  is  able  to  locate  copies  of  the 
Pacific  News  only  in  the  Library  of  Congress  and  the  Bancroft  Library. 
He  does  not  cite  this  weird  issue  on  Wrapping  paper  and  it  seems  prob- 
able that  it  is  UNKNOW^N,  as  he  states  that  the  shortage  of  paper  neces- 
sitated the  change  in  size  "to  very  small  sheets."  The  Editor  says  he 
prints  it  on  wrapping  paper  "for  want  of  any  other  kind,  and  begs  his 
readers  to  imagine  it  was  chosen  on  account  of  the  beauty  of  its  tint.  .  .

One  of  the  Earliest  California  Manuscripts  written  by  an  Amer- 
ican TO  come  to  light  during  the  past  half  century.  Francis  John- 
son was  agent  for  Pierce  &  Brewer  on  the  Coast;  partner  of  C.  Brewer  in 
the  Honolulu  trade,  and  supercargo  of  the  Don  Quixote  during  T.  J.  Tarn- 
ham's  voyage  of  1840.  He  died  in  Massachusetts  early  in  1848,  shortly 
after  his' return  to  the  East.  The  discovery,  therefore  of  his  record  of 
those  times  may  well  be  regarded  as  a  veritable  "lost  voice"  in  Cali- 
fornia's early  pioneer  annals.  He  was  an  eye-witness  of  the  Monterey 
Revolution  of  1840,  in  which  the  American  Settlers  and  Traders  made 
their  first  attempt  to  Conquer  the  Country,  and  his  letters,  written  at  the 
time,  furnish  important  testimony  on  that  affair  and  the  events  arising 
therefrom, — matters  which  Bancroft  (Vol.  IV,  p.  2)  characterized  aa 
"presenting  unusual  difitieulties  to  the  historian,  and  which  were  then 
(1886)  and  probably  ever  would  be,  impossible  to  accurately  record." 
Collectively  these  letters  constitute  an  extraordinary  and  unique  record  of 
pioneer  conditions  in  the  earliest  days  of  California,  together  with  inti- 
mate particulars  of  the  commerce  and  trade  of  that  time.

ant.    70  pp.,  8vo,  sewn.  San  Francisco,  1853 

Limantour  claimed  all  of  the  City  south  of  California  Street.  Hittell 
as  late  as  '57  published  a  pamphlet  in  which  he  gave  it  as  his  opinion 
that  it  was  best  to  grant  the  land  to  Limantour,  who  had  won  a  con- 
firmation in  the  lower  court;  W.  C.  Jones  on  the  other  hand  maintained 
that  no  competent  lawyer  ever  did  or  could  question  the  fraudulent  nature 
of  the  Claim.     Bancroft  characterizes  this  case  as  a  "cause  celebre. "

Very  large  folio  broadside,  25  by  20  inches.     The  two  upper  lines 
of  the  title  stretch  across  the  sheet  in  big,  bold,  black  type.    Below, 
enclosed  in  a  red  border,  is  a  map  showing  the  entire  water  route, 
via  Cape  Horn,  with  the  cut-offs  by  way  of  Panama  and  Tehuante- 
pec ;  also  another  map  showing  the  West  from  Cape  Flattery  to  the 
Mexican  line,  and  from  New  Mexico  to  the  Pacific.     One-third  of 
California  is  colored  a  rich  golden  yellow,  to  agree  with  the  state- 
ments of  the  accompanying  text.     Beneath  the  "Important  Direc-

In  the  "Description"  it  is  stated  that  "Gold,  as  well  as  the  various

broadside  is  enclosed  in  an  ornamental  colored  border.     It  is  a  summary 
of  the  first   reports  that   reached  the  East,  and  its  entire  character  and 
contents  reveal  that  the  date  of  its  production  could  not  have  been  later 
than  the  early  weeks  of  1849.     The  broadside  bears  no  date  or  imprint, 
and  was  apparently  issued  in  such  haste  that  it  was  not  even  copjTighted.

the  lines  of  these  others  were  fixed  by  final  survey,  either  the  Sobrante

the  frauds  and  to  deprive  the  pre-emptors  of  their  homes.  It  asserts  the

papers  is  a  matter  of  rare  occurrence.  The  Grass  Valley  District  was 
swept  by  so  many  fires,  that  it  is  probable  that  no  similar  collection  is  in

Cowan  states  that  the  "Pacific  and  Atlantic"  Eoad  (See  next  lot)  was 
the  first  local  project.     This  report,  however,  from  his  collection,  antedates 
the  other  by  nearly  two  years.     A  very  early  Marysville  imprint.

tivities in  Washington  during  the  road  's  successful  attempt  to  secure  the 
grants  and  privileges  it  desired  in  a  situation  which  he  describes  as  the 
"threatening  aspect  of  our  affairs.''  Judah  actually  had  himself  ap- 
pointed Secretary  of  the  Senate  Pacific  R.  R.  Committee,  Clerk  of  the

Salt  Lake  City,  1921.     Printed  for  the  Clayton  Family 

This  diary  of  the  Mormon  Expedition  across  the  plains  has  been  one 
of  the  ' '  lost ' '  books  of  early  Western  history.  Clayton,  as  is  well  known, 
was  appointed  "historian"  to  the  Company,  and  kept  a  daily  journal  in 
which  were  recorded  the  events  of  the  expedition,  its  adventures,  and  such 
observations  on  the  country  and  Indian  tribes  as  might  prove  of  value  to 
following  members.  Its  final  discovery,  and  publication  by  the  family,  in 
its  original  day-by-day  form,  brings  to  light  a  record  of  the  highest  his- 
•  torical  value  as  an  original  source,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  interesting 
personal  narratives  of  the  Pioneer  period.    See  next  number.

present  Centnry.   Portmit.  8vo.    St.  Louis :  Privately  Printed,  1880 
These    memoirs    date    from    1809,    when    the    author's    father    went    to 
"Upper  Louisiana"  and  bought  600  acres  of  land  in  the  "St.  Louis  Dis- 
trict."    The  volume  is  an  indispensable  work  to  the  historian  or  student 
of  Early  Affairs  and  men  of  the  West.

unbound,  uncut.  Oxford  :  Printed  for  Private  Circulation  Only,  18-1:3 

The  author  was  Professor  of  Botany  in  the  University  of  Oxford ;  his 
narrative  of  life,  travel  and  observation  in  Ohio,  Arkansas  and  the  Mis- 
sissippi Valley  generally  is  not  the  customary  hodge-podge  of  an  unin- 
formed tourist,  but  the  record  of  a  trained  observer.

Los  Angeles,  1916 

No.  216  of  the  small  edition  issued.  With  autograph  of  the  author. 
Covers  Davis's  career  in  the  West  (Missouri  and  Iowa)  from  1850,  and  his 
activities  in  Colorado 's  pioneer  period,  with  an  especially  detailed  narra- 
tive of  his  experiences  in  Leadville  as  Editor  of  the  Chronicle  in  the 
tumult  of  the  boom  days.  Davis  was  a  commanding  figure  in  the  history 
of  Colorado.  His  book  is  already  given  rank  among  the  great  American 
biographies,  and  it  is  not  surpassed  by  any  other  narrative  in  its  por- 
trayal of  the  times  and  conditions  with  which  it  deals.

Probably  the  only  narrative  ever  written  by  a  survivor.  The  author, 
as  Matilda  Sager,  was  one  of  Whitman's  pupils  at  the  Mission.  Her 
brothers,  John  and  Frank,  were  among  the  victims.  Matilda  was  spared, 
though  Frank  was  killed  while  standing  beside  her,  and  in  this  book  she 
has  set  down  the  bloody  events  that  took  place  i\t  Waiilatpu  on  November 
29,  1847,  and  which  she  beheld.

Sacramento :  Published  at  the  Union  Office,  1853 
Delano  came  overland  in  1849,  and  became  a  well-known  and  pros- 
perous banker  in  Grass  Valley.  His  niche  among  the  immortals  of  Pioneer 
literature  rests  on  a  somewhat  firmer  basis  than  the  accumulation  of 
wealth,  that  place  being  accorded  him  as  the  first  Californian  humorist 
to  record  the  burlesc|ue  side  of  the  many  strange  scenes  he  saw  presented 
during  the  flush  times,  and  which,  with  many  a  characteristic  mining  story, 
he  recorded  under  the  name  of  "Old  Block."  The  illustrations  are  by 
Nahl,  himself  a  famous  pioneer  artist.

Cowan,  p.  65.  The  illustrations  are  in  the  best  and  most  vigorous  vein  of 
that  style  so  thoroughly  characteristic  of  this  famous  pioneer  artist. 
They  form  a  happy  accompaniment  for  the  word  sketches  of  Delano.

the  year  following  in  the  great  fire  of  1889.  Of  it,  the  Washington  His- 
torical Quarterly  says:  "His  book  is  deservedly  prized  as  an  authorita- 
tive source  upon  the  early  history  of  Seattle  and  Puget  Sound ;  its  intrinsic 
worth,  the  small  number  of  copies  and  the  fact  that  it  has  never  been  on

Original  Edition.  Wagner,  No.  268.  The  author  crossed  the  plains 
in  1852  and  this  narrative  of  her  experiences  is  the  first  literary  produc-

diary  form,  and,  as  Bancroft  says  (tliough  we  question  this  being  now 
regarded  as  a  defect)  shows  a  too  literal  observation  of  the  incidents  of 
camp  life  in  crossing  the  plains.  However  this  may  be,  as  the  Pioneer 
production  of  the  Territory,  the  work  must  ever  occupy  a  distinct  niche

Scarcely  known.  This  expedition  was  sent  out  to  explore  the  country 
and  keep  notes  along  the  proposed  line  of  travel.  They  followed  the  north 
side  of  the  Platte  to  Ft.  Kearney,  thence  to  Julesburg  on  the  south  side, 
where  due  to  the  hostility  of  the  Indians  they  were  forced  to  procure  a 
military  escort  made  up  of  volunteers;  from  here  westward  the  country 
was  explored,  with  Ft.  Laramie  as  a  base.  The  report  details  the  events 
and  observations  during  six  months  of  hazardous  campaigning  in  this 
western  wilderness,  which  was  finally  abandoned  on  account  of  the  increas- 
ing intensity  of  the  Indian  Uprising,  now  threatening  the  posts  along  the 
line  of  their  return  route.

presents  a  strong  case  for  the  British  contention  to  the  Oregon  Country, 
hinging  his  claim  on  the  broad  territorial  acquisitions  of  La  Salle  and

Cowan,  p.  93  (paraphrasing  Bancroft,  Cal.  I,  p.  509):  "This  work,  of

a  masterly  resume  of  Spanish  voyages  to  the  coast,  written  by  Mar  (in 
Fernandez  de  Navarrete.  He  was  an  accomplished  scholar,  and  his  knowl- 
edge of  the  Spanish  archives  was  superior  to  that  of  any  of  his  con- 
temporaries." The  American  Government,  in  the  Treaty  of  Cession, 
Article  V,  based  the  southern  boundary  of  the  acquired  territory  upon 
the  authority  of  this  Expedition.  Galiano  and  Valdes  both  fell  at  the

was  wiped  out  in  the  Great  Fire  of  1850.  His  book  covers  the  period 
from  that  date  onward,  and  is  a  faithful  chronicle  of  his  adventurous 
trip  from  the  mines  through  Southern  California,  across  the  Colorado 
Desert  to  Yuma,  Tucson  and  the  Sonora  Country  generally.  He  gives 
interesting  particulars  of  the  Country  traversed,  the  various  Indian 
tribes  encountered,  the  Boulbon  Filibustering  Expedition,  Life  in  Tucson, 
the  Graydon  Regulators,  the  Apache  raids,  Adventures  at  the  mines,  etc.

The  author  became  a  nicml)er  of  Austin's  Colony  in  1831.  Her  book 
was  the  most  extensive  work  which  had  yet  appeared  on  conditions  in  the 
New  Republic  and  for  much  of  the  material  it,  has  never  been  superseded. 
The  accounts  of  the  society  and  manners,  the  government  and  laws,  the 
history  of  Gen.  Austin  and  his  colony  and  the  account  of  the  Indians  are 
especially  important.

Salt  Lake  City,  1886-90. 

One  of  the  most  important  Western  historical  works  ever  published. 
The  publication  was  started  in  Salt  Lake  in  1886  by  Jenson,  who  had 
previously  published  four  vols,  of  Scandinavian  Mormon  material  in 
Danish,  hence  the  first  vol.  of  the  Utah  work  was  called  Vol.  Five.  Com- 
plete sets  as  above  are  practically  unprocurable,  as  but  few  copies  of 
the  last  vol.  were  published.  Every  fact  connected  Avith  the  Mormons, 
their  Settlements  in  Missouri,  Iowa,  Illinois,  etc.,  their  adventures, 
massacres,  exjiloits,  overland  migration,  Indian  campaigns,  etc.,  etc.,  is 
here  exhaustively  presented.  The  Index  covers  some  70  pp.,  and  the 
whole  of  the  tinal  vol.  is  given  over  to  the  preservation  of  a  day-by-day 
overland  narrative  of  the  Trip  across  the  plains  in  1847,  with  interesting 
sketches  of  Fort  Bridger,  Laramie,  etc.

Avith  such  impediments  as  beset  my  path  from  the  nature  of  the  roads,

Practically  unprocurable,  but  one  perfect  copy  having  appeared  at 
auction.  This  splendid  volume,  as  the  author  says  in  his  preface,  was 
prepared  "with  no  view  of  publication,"  and  "it  is  known  that  the 
circulation  will  still  be  restricted  to  a  small  circle  of  readers  composed 
of  friends  and  acquaintances. "  It  is  believed  that  about  50  copie3  were 
printed.  Johnson  and  his  party  left  Pittsburgh  on  March  2,  Independence 
on  April  28th,  and  entered  California  on  July  24th,  1849.  The  book  is  a 
direct  transcription  from  Johnston's  original  journal  kept  along  the 
route,  and  is  one  of  the  most  elaborate,  careful,  and  well-written  narra- 
tives of  the  sort  in  existence.

Wm.  Carey  Jones'  celebrated  Argument  before  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  U.  S.,  which  resulted  in  the  Confirmation  of  the  title  of  the  San 
Joaquin  lands  to  Cervantes.  The  case  opened  in  the  district  court  of 
California  in  1852,  and  was  the  first  on  which  Judge  Hoffman  presided; 
it  was  here  rejected  because  the  grant  of  1836  from  Castro  had  not  been 
approved  by  the  Assembly,  and  because  the  grantee  had  not  complied 
with  the  conditions  of  building  within  one  year.  This  decision  was 
overruled  by  the  Supreme  Court — its  first  case — and  set  the  precedent 
for  a  less  strict  ruling  on  these  points  in  later  cases.  Judgment  was 
finally  affirmed  in  1855.

London,  1859 
A  most  valuable  and  fascinating  Narrative.  The  author  traversed, 
almost  alone,  the  territories  of  the  Red  Eiver  Settlement,  the  Valley  of 
the  Saskatchewan,  across  the  Eocky  Mountains,  down  the  Columbia,  the 
shores  of  Puget  Sound  and  Vancouver 's  Island,  during  an  expedition  last- 
ing over  three  years  (1845-8).  The  narrative  is  a  transcript  of  his 
daily  journal,  and  the  beautiful  plates  are  copies  of  the  labors  of  his 
brush.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Kane  spent  some  time  in  1847  at 
the  Whitman  Mission,  and  warned  him  then  of  his  danger  from  the 
Indians.

The  Manjuis  brought  a  considerable  group  of  colonists  from  France 
in  1790,  composed  of  the  aristocracy,  farmers  and  tradesmen.  He  had 
purchased  a  large  tract  in  Ohio  (near  the  present  town  of  Gallipolis) 
from  the  Scioto  Company,  where  the  colony  proposed  to  settle,  but  the 
Company  did  not  fulfil  its  obligations,  and  the  colonists,  after  a  year 
in  the  Western  Wilderness,  abandoned  the  enterprise  and  returned  to 
France.  This  volume  is  the  Marquis's  account  of  his  Colony,  its  adven- 
tures   and    difficulties,    in    the    form    of    letters   addressed    to    friends    in

work,  and  constitute  a  history  of  the  colony,  a  description  of  the  Amer- 
ican Wilderness,  and  of  the"  undertaking  he  had  organized,  with  com- 
mentaries on  existing  conditions  in  France  and  comparing  the  new  life 
with  that  of  Europe.  The  final  letter  was  sent  from  Philadelphia  after 
the  abandonment  of  the  enterprise.

two  men  in  charge  of  the  Province  after  the  death  of  D'Abaddie.  The

GUIDE,  1862 

688.  LOWELL  (DANIEL  W.).  Map  of  the  Nez  Perces  and 
Salmon  River  Gold  Mines  in  Washington  Territoiy.  Compiled 
from  the  Most  Recent  Surveys.  Very  large  folding  folio  Map,  en- 
titled "Map  of  Nez  Perces  and  Salmon  River  Mines."  23  pp., 
]2mo,  in  the  original  flexible  black  stamped  cloth,  with  gold  title 
on  front  cover.  San  Francisco:  Whitton,  AVaters  &  Go.,  1862 

TnK  ONLY  KNOWN  COPY.  The  map,  which  was  lithographed  by  Britton, 
depicts  the  western  country  from  Fort  Colville  and  Bears  Eiver  on  the 
north  to  Fort  Boise  on  the  south,  and  from  Lewis  and  Clark  Pass  on  the 
east  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  with  the  routes  and  trails,  the  agencies,  mis- 
sions, forts,  passes,  emigrant  roads,  unexplored  regions,  topographical 
details,  and  all  the  newly  located  gold  deposits  and  discoveries. 

The  text  states  that  the  map  has  been  corrected  by  Alonzo  Leland,  and 
others  who  have  mined  and  prospected  during  the  last  season  in  the 
regions  described.  It  is  a  narrative  of  conditions  at  the  new  diggings, 
written  from  personal  experience,  and  containing  names,  specific  locations 
and  discoveries.  "We  are  in  the  midst,"  states  the  author,  "  of  a  new 
'49  excitement.  Men  pay  no  attention  to  ounce  diggings,  they  must  have 
diggings  that  pay  $100  to  $1000  per  day — I  visited  Jake  Wiser 's  claim, 
and  saw  his  day 's  work  weighed,  the  result  was  Fourteen  pounds — two 
thousand  six  hundred  and  eighty-eight  dollars!" 

In  addition,  the  text  contains  the  code  of  16  laws  and  amendments 
adopted  at  a  meeting  of  miners  at  "Summit  Hill";  the  similar  code 
adopted  in  1861  at  the  mass  meeting  of  the  miners  of  the  Oro  Fino  Dis- 
trict; and  two  "Tables  of  Distances."

on  Western  history,  this  is  one  of  the  most  difficult  to  secure.  The  author 
had  access  to  many  hundreds  of  letters  and  manuscripts  of  the  survivors 
of  this  ill-fated  Expedition  to  California  in  1846.  From  them,  and  from 
personal  interviews  with  the  most  important  actors  in  the  strange  and

history  of  the  emigration.

collection  or  bibliography  consulted,  nor  can  we  trace  a  copy  in  the  rec- 
ords. The  tract  is,  in  its  subject  matter,  a  continuation  of  his  "Eeflec- 
tions  on  the  Late  Cession. ' '  In  it  Magruder  takes  up  and  discusses, 
with  great  care  and  detail,  the  existing  condition  of  Louisiana  Territory 
and  its  boundaries,  probable  development,  opportunities,  and  future.  He 
says  (p.  5),  "I  conjecture,  that  the  limits  of  our  acquisition  to  the  west 
and  north,  are  very  extensive,"  and  (p.  9),  "There  is  no  danger  at  pres- 
ent to  be  apprehended  from  the  Spaniards  and  Indians.  .  .  This  may 
not  be  the  case,  should  the  western  limit  be  extended  more  toward  Mex- 
ico. ' '  Acknowledging  receipt  of  the  information  that  the  spirit  of  migra- 
tion to  the  new  territory  has  been  excited  in  the  east,  he  describes  the 
soil,  natural  products,  streams,  agricultural  possibilities,  trade,  settle- 
ments, state  of  society,  public  spirit,  laws  and  government.  He  frankly 
admits  the  existence  of  numerous  serious  conditions,  and  on  p.  22  sets 
them  down,  in  part  as  follows: 

Symptoms    of    disaffection    to    the    new    sovereignty,    generated   by   ex- 
ternal enemies  and  internal  treachery; 

"A  blundering  land  law,  premature  and  repugnant  to  the  spirit  of  the 
treaty  of  cession,  and  the  plighted  integrity  of  the  nation;

take  rank  as  the  first  detailed  American  description  of  the  Louisiana

Entomology  and  Conchology,  and  seems  also  to  have  been  painting.  He 
afterwards  returned  to  France,  where  the  above  plates  appeared  in  Paris^

Claimed  under  a  Spanish  grant  made  in  1800.  A  masterly  argument 
of  great  value  for  its  collection  of  facts  and  citations  on  early  Missouri 
land  claim   litigation.

These   lands   were   claimed   under   grants   made  by   Spain  in   1803.     In 

support  of  the  claim  are  presented  an  imposing  array  of  early  documents, 

of    great    importance    to    the    student    of    early    St.    Louis,    and    the    old

Edward  Bates  Against  Thomas  H.  Benton.  12  pp.,  12mo,  sewn,

The  pamphlet  is  addressed,  ' '  To  the  People  of  Missouri, ' '  and  has 
to  do  with  the  Spanish  Land  Claims  of  that  State  and  Arkansas.  Among 
other  things,  Benton  is  accused  of  being  a  public  defaulter,  tainted  in 
every  relation  of  life  with  peculation  and  falsehood;  his  alleged  dishonesty 
as  a  lawyer,  as  a  director  in  the  Bank  of  Missouri  and  as  U.  S.  Senator 
is  painstakingly  argued.

Mr.  Andrews'  experiences  were  many  and  varied.  His  especial  qualifi-

a  peculiar  expertness  in  the  intricacies  of  shuffling  and  dealing  cards. 
His  narrative  runs  true  to  form,  and  in  the  last  chapter,  with  a  bullet 
wound  through  his  head^  his  companion 's  brains  oozing  from  a  white 
forehead,  and  the  authorities  on  his  trail,  he  senses  the  error  of  his  ways,

The  earliest  announcement  of  the  murder  of  the  Mormon  prophets 
printed  in  Europe.  It  was  rushed  out  by  the  printers  of  the  Millennial 
Star  as  a  supplement,  in  this  "strange  and  melancholy  garb."

Fullmer  was  one  of  the  last  to  visit  the  Prophet  before  the  assassina- 
tion.    His  account  is  one  of  the  few  written  from  personal  experience  and 

138 


observation  of  the  causes  which  led  to  the  reign  of  mob  rule  and  murder; 
the  second  part  is  a  more  detailed  narrative  of  the  march  of  mobocracy 
in  Hancock  County,  and  the  difficulty  the  Saints  had  to  j^ass  through  in 
Nauvoo,  up  to  its  evacuation  by  them,  than  is  known  to  have  appeared 
before  in  any  form.  "It  is  hoped, ' '  says  the  author,  that  this  pamphlet

form  an  interesting  chapter  in  the  future  compilation  of  the  history  of

The  writer  Avas  the  first  mayor  of  Salt  Lake  City,  being  appointed 
Jan.  9,  1851.  Herein  he  attacks  the  U.  S.  Government  for  its  ' '  Utah 
Policy/'  reviews  and  exposes  the  careers  of  the  several  federal  officers 
sent  to  the  Territory,  and  attempts  a  vindication  of  the  Mormon 
violence. 


EARLY  MORMON  PERIODICAL  ON  UTAH  AND 
POLYGAMY 

778.  MORMONS.  The  Seer.  Edited  by  Orson  Pratt.  A  Com- 
plete Set  from  the  beginning,  Jan.  1853  to  the  end,  Aug.  1854, 
when  the  paper  was  suppressed  by  the  authorities.  The  20  nos. 
bound  in  one  vol.,  8vo,  full  morocco,  stamped  gilt  edges  (one  leaf 
slightly  torn).  Liverpool,  1853-4 

A  most  interesting  association  copy.  Throughout  the  vol.  are  Ms.  notes 
elucidating  the  text,  or  emphasizing  Orson  's  telling  points  on  the  urgency 
and  holiness  of  Polygamy.  Certain  passages  evidently  not  suiting  Brig- 
ham  Young's  later  ideas,  have  a  line  drawn  through  them,  and  are  marked 
in  Ms.:  "Condemned  as  incorrect  by  B.  Young  and  the  12.  Aug.  1865." 
On  the  fly-leaf  the  following  pertinent  inscription  appears:  "Presented 
to  D.  A.  Crockwell  by  her  husband,  with  a  desire  that  the  truth  therein 
may  lead  her  to  a  glorious  exhaltation,  Oct.  12,  1864.  Cost  $5.00."  That 
the  money  was  well  spent,  the  doctrine  embraced  and  the  lady  duly  "ex- 
halted  ' '  would  seem  to  be  the  case,  for  at  the  end  she  subscribes  her  name, 
and  one  notes  that  her  place  of  residence  is  now  Salt  Lake  City,  Utahj 
Terr.!  In  this  connection  it  is  of  interest  to  note  that  the  author's 
brother  the  Apostle  Parley  Pratt  came  to  a  tragic  end  for  a  too  close 
observance  of  the  principles  herein  advocated,  falling  at  the  hand  of 
Hector  McLean,  whose  wife  he  had  "converted."

A  very  unusual  book.  The  narrative  is  that  of  an  Overland  Expedition 
which  crossed  the  plains  from  Leavenworth  via  the  Black  Hills  and 
Bridget's  Pass  to  the  Salt  Lake  Valley.

The  famous  case  involving  the  lands  in  Jackson  County,  Missouri,  from 
which  the  Mormons  were  driven  in  1S33.  The  Brighamites  and  the  Ee- 
organized  Church  both  claimed  title  in  later  years,  and  herein  the  history 
of  the  case  is  gone  into  at  length,  with  the  final  decision,  which  is  in 
favor  of  the  Reorganized  Church.

N.  p.,  1854 
Despite  the  date  of  imprint  and  the  "Notices  of  the  Press,"  which  are 
dated  1853  and  contain  excerpts  from  various  local  papers  further  eluci- 
dating the  affairs  of  the  Beaver  Island  Mormon  Colony  and  its  founder, 
"King"  Strang,  the  pamphlet  was  undoubtedly  printed  at  a  later  period. 
Nearly  the  whole  of  the  book  proper  is  given  over  to  an  exposition  of  the 
Mormon  persecution  in  Michigan.

This  is  the  story  of  David  Whitmer,  one  of  the  three  witnesses  to  the 
Divine  authentication  of  the  Book  of  Mormon,  written  by  him  when  a 
very  old  man.  He  gives  information  about  the  early  days  at  Independ-

Priests  who  preceded  the  Gold-Seekers  by  22  years,  has  shared  with  the 
red  man  his  dried  Buffalo  meat,  his  roots  and  berries;  the  howling  Wilder-

ing scenes  connected  with  the  first  news  of  the  discovery  of  Gold  in  Cal-

encountered  on  the  trip  to  the  new  Eldorado,  life  at  the  mines  among 
the  miners,  Mormons,  etc.  In  its  entirety  the  volume  constitutes  a  newly 
found  historical  phase  of  the  contemporary  gold  fever,  and  is  without 
doubt  the  first  (as  well  as  the  most  pretentious)  record,  in  typical 
American  caricature,  of  the  immense  national  effect  produced  by  the 
great  discovery  of  1849.

Cowan,  jj.  196.  The  custom-house  was  destroyed  in  the  fire  of  May  4, 
1851,  and  it  was  necessary  to  remove  the  treasure  (about  $1,000,000)  to 
another  location.  A  heavily  armed  guard  of  thirty  stalwart  citizens  was 
headed  in  person  by  King,  and  the  transfer  eftected.  This  induced  some 
approbation,  but  provoked  much  more  ridicule,  some  of  which  appeared 
in  contemporary  broadsides  of  caricature  and  lampoon.

One  of  Two  recorded  copies  of  the  First  Manual.     Cowan  was  un- 
aware  of  the   existence   of   the   volume,  whose   historical   importance   and

city  from  the  Bay  back  to  Yerba  Buena  Cemetery  and  Larkin  Street;  the 
second  map  is  entitled  "Map  of  the  Northern  Portion  of  San  Francisco 
County,   compiled   from  surveys  in   1852   by  Clement   Humphrey."      Both 
were  engraved  by  B.  F.  Butler,  and  are  of  very  great  interest.     The  text 
deals  in  detail  with  the  organization  of  the  city 's  government.     Laid  in  is 
an   autograph   letter   showing  that   the   volume  was  presented  by  Samuel

Coloma,  Cal. :  Harmon  &  Springer,  1851 
This  celebrated  volume  was  the  first  book  printed  in  Coloma.  Cowan, 
p.  216;  Wagner,  No.  175.  But  one  copy  has  ever  appeared  in  the  records, 
and  it  is  probable  that  not  more  than  six  copies  exist.  Slater  and  his 
company  of  California  emigrants  reached  Salt  Lake  in  the  fall  of  1850 
and  wintered  in  the  Valley.  When  the  party  reached  Carson  Valley  in  the 
following  spring  they  held  a  meeting,  and  200  members  signed  a  set  of 
resolutions  and  later  a  number  drew  up  a  memorial  to  Congress  (both  of 
which  are  printed  by  Slater)  setting  forth  bitter  complaints  against  the 
Mormons  and  charging  them  with  treason,  murder,  larceny  and  all  kinds 
of  crime.  The  book  is  made  up  of  narratives  of  the  outrages  and  oppres- 
sions inflicted  upon  them  while  en  route  across  the  plains  and  in  Utah, 
and  was  put  into  book  form  in  order  to  give  warning  to  others  in  the 
East,  who  were  about  to  attempt  the  Overland  journey.

that  could  not  fail  to  be  of  deep  interest."

Indians   and   practically  annihilated.      The   subsequent   hardships   endured 
by  the  captive  girls  were  so  severe  that  one  of  them  died  while  in  captivity,

An  early  tract  for  emigrants  to  the  Territory.  It  is  interesting  to  note

Against  the  Nez  Perce  Indians,  1878.     47  pp.,  8vo,  original  wrap- 
pers. Portland:  A.  G.  Walling,  Printer,  1878 
Sutherland  was  Gen.  Howard's  Aide-de-Camp.     In  the  literature   deal- 
ing with  the  Indian  Wars  of  the  Far  West  no  narrative  has  an  importance 
superior  to  this  and  few   can  lay  claim   to  an  equal   rarity.      Sutherland 
frankly  describes  certain  phases  of  the  campaign  as  "disgraceful,"  and 
lays  much  of  the  trouble  to  "criminal  negligence."     The  two  other  known 
copies,  recorded  by  Smith,  are  those  in  the  Oregon  Historical  Society  and 
the  Library  of  Whitman  College.     One  theory  attributes  the  virtually  com- 
plete disappearance  of  the  narrative  to  the  character  of  its  disclosures.

Autograjih  presentation  copy  from  the  author.  This  work,  says  Field,  is 
devoted  almost  entirely  to  its  Aboriginal  history.  The  early  Jesuit  Mis- 
sions, the  wars  of  the  Eries  and  Iroquois,  the  border  warfare  which  was 
waging  for  nearly  a  quarter  century  between  the  settlers  and  the  Dela- 
wares,  Shawnees  and  Wyan dotes,  are  the  subjects  which  nearly  fill  the 
volume.

What  has  been  done."  Modern  records  do  not,  however,  reveal  the  sale 
of  a  single  copy  of  this  earlier  work.  The  relation  is  arranged  under  nine 
separate  heads,  dealing  with  the  various  phases  of  the  subject,  covering 
the  needs  of  a  vigorous  offensive  campaign  against  the  savages;  the  num- 
ber and  situation  of  the  enemy;  their  depredations  along  the  Overland 
Eoutes;  the  Gold  Discoveries  in  the  Dakota  and  Washington  Territories; 
the  Northern  Pacific  Eailroad;  and  finally,  a  Petition  to  the  General  Gov-

''     bellion.    8vo,  uncut.  Washington,  1836 

A  most  interesting  item  of  Texan  History.     Gorostiza's  charges,  backed 

by  long  newspaper  accounts  of  the  Expedition,  as  well  as  the  Secret  Eeports 

to  the   Mexican  government  by  their  agents  are   presented  together  with 

Forsyth's  Correspondence  in  rebuttal.    Stripped  of  its  honeyed  phrases  and 

diplomatic  verbiage  it  reveals  the  Jacksonian  "Texas  Policy"  so  long  in 

embryo,  so  soon  to  lead  to  war,  and  ultimately  to  add  so  vastly  to  our 

domain.

■  15  pp.,  small  4to,  sewn.  Mexico :  D.  Alejandro  Valdes,  1822 

Of  superlative  historical  importance,  and  apparently  the  Only 
Known  Copy.  This  petition,  which  constitutes  one  of  the  very  earliest 
attempts  made  by  Americans  to  colonize  Texas,  proposes  to  the  Mexican 
Government  that  the  latter  make  over  the  lands  of  the  Province  of  Texas 
to  the  Memorialists,  who  in  turn  agree  to  Colonize  the  new  country  with 
an  emigration  from  the  United  States,  and  cultivate  and  bring  to  a  rich 
fruition  this  great  land  so  valiantly  wrested  from  the  miserable  Spanish 
Crown  by  the  noble  liberty-loving  Mexicanos  but  a  year  before  (1821). 
The  Memorial  is  dated  March  10,  1822,  and  is  signed  by  70  names,  among 
them  being  that  of  Sam.  ILoustom  (sic).  The  Association's  agents  were 
Col.  D.  Andrew  Erwin  of  Tenn.,  Capt.  Robert  D.  Leftwich  of  Ky.,  and 
Felix  de  Armas,  of  La.  The  concluding  pages  contain  supporting  letters 
from  Gov.  Carroll  of  Tenn.,  Gen.  James  Wilkinson  and  J.  D.  Blackburn, 
attesting  to  the  honesty  of  the  emigration  and  to  the  respectability  and 
upright  qualities  of  those  engaged  in  the  enterprise.  One  of  the  basic 
items  of  Texiana.

This  is  Wilkes'  personal  narrative  of  his  Oregon  and  California  ex- 
plorations and  experiences  in  1846.  This  account  (as  he  explains  in  his 
preface)  contains  much  information  regarding  the  situation  which  he 
could  not  with  propriety  include  in  his  official  report  'before  these  two 
territories  became  portions  of  the  public  domain."  He  further  says  (Feb., 
1849):  "as  many,  and  indeed  most  of  the  material  facts  would  otherwise 
be  lost,  I  have  therefore  collected  them  in  this  memoir. ' '

One  of  the  great  ((uartet  among  all  Overland  Narratives,  the  others  be- 
ing the  journals  of  Leonard,  Hastings,  Johnson-Winter.  Eight  copies  of 
this  superlatively  important  and  hopelessly  sought  volume  are  known  to 
exist.  Four  of  these  are  in  the  collections  of  the  Oregon  Historical  So- 
ciety, the  Portland  Library,  the  University  of  Washington,  and  the  Li- 
brary of  Congress.  Three  are  in  permanent  private  collections  never  to  be 
dispersed.  The  final  copy  is  the  one  here  offered.  But  one  other  has 
appeared  in  the  market,  either  at  public  or  private  sale,  for  20 
years.  The  account  of  the  famous  overland  emigration  of  1843,  as  con- 
tained in  Part  II  of  the  book,  is  Burnett 's  personal  narrative  of  the  jour-

Description  of  the  line  of  Route,  and  the  Distances  between  the  intermedi-

periences by  the  man  who  was  to  become  the  first  Civil  Governor  of  Cali-

The  author  was  one  of  the  first  scientific  pioneers  through  a  great  part 
of  the  country  explored.  The  preface  states:  "In  1846  I  left  St.  Louis 
with  the  intention  of  making  a  tour  through  Northern  Mexico  and  Upper 
California,  I  visited  as  many  mines  as  possible,  kept  tables,  memoranda  in 
relation  to  people,  their  number,  industry,  manners  and  previous  history, 
etc.,  my  intention  being  to  gain  information  of  a  country  that  was  but 
little  known.

Philadelphia:  Privately  Printed,  1889 

The  author  was  the  sister  of  Theodore  Winthrop,  of  "Canoe  and 
Saddle ' '  fame.  Her  volume  describes  a  most  interesting  period  in  Wyom- 
ing history,  of  which  there  are  but  few  records — when  the  '  *  fort ' '  con- 
tained what  society  there  was,  and  while  it  was  still  possible  to  see  the  real 
Wyoming  Indian.  She  writes  understandingly  of  them,  of  fort  life,  hunt- 
ing adventures,  and  of  the  country,  through  much  of  which  she  was  the 
first  white  woman  to  adventure.

Country  in  '65).    Map,  Portrait  and  Plates.    148  pp.,  12mo. 

Geneva,  1912 

A  valuable  trail  record,  privately  printed  by  the  author  in  a  small  edi- 
tion and  unprocurable.  The  work  deals  in  fact  only  and  presents  no 
fanciful  picture  of  the  "glorified  days";  on  the  outward  march  they 
were  continually  harassed  and  had  numerous  engagements  with  the  In- 
dians; the  events  of  the  tedious  tramp,  together  with  the  rough  experi- 
ences of  life  in  Colorado  and  Wyoming  during  the  Vigilantes'  Reign  and 
while  the  Overland  Eailroad  was  "building  through"  make  up  Young's 
chronicle.

Mejico  :  Impreso  por  Juan  Ojeda,  1835 

Original  Edition  of  one  of  the  most  important  relations  of  personal 
experience  and  observation  among  the  savage  tribes  of  the  Arizona-Cali- 
fornia border.  No  copy  has  ever  appeared  in  the  auction  room;  so  rare, 
in  fact,  is  this  work  in  the  original,  that  even  Bancroft  failed  to  locate  a 
copy  and  was  obliged  to  use  the  French  reprint  of  1842.  Zuniga  was  at- 
tempting to  found  a  colony  on  the  Colorado  and  Gila,  with  a  view  of  uni- 
ting California  and  New  Mexico.  His  narrative  relates  to  these  projects 
and  to  an  account  of  the  harassments,  desolation  and  miseries  brought 
about  by  the  constant  incursions  and  depredations  of  the  barbarous 
Apaches  and  other  savage  tribes  of  the  border.
